How to Identify Duplicates in a Matter

This article shows you how to identify duplicates within eBrief Ready and manage duplicate documents in a matter.

In the matter view, the “Identify Duplicates” option is located under the “Actions” button in the top right corner.

When you select it, eBrief Ready scans the matter and automatically highlights duplicate documents for your review.

After duplicates are identified, you can review the selected documents and decide which ones to remove.
By choosing “Select Most Recent Duplicates”, the system keeps the oldest document unselected and automatically selects all newer duplicates in each duplicate set. This helps you clearly identify the original document and distinguish it from copies added later.

Once you have confirmed which duplicates should be removed, select “Delete Duplicates” and confirm the deletion.
